Lee’s death ignited grief and mourning among those who knew him and sparked outrage from some tech executives and Bay Area locals on social media. Venture capitalist Matt Ocko called San Francisco “lawless” and Elon Musk tweeted that violent crime in the city is “horrific.”

However, according to police data, violent crime in San Francisco is fairly low (only 56 incidents of homicide in both 2022 and 2021).

“Nothing can undo this senseless crime, and we reiterate our condolences to Mr. Lee’s family members, friends and colleagues,” a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Matt Dorsey, tweeted following news of the arrest. “But I hope today’s arrest can begin a process of healing and closure for all those touched by this tragedy.”

I’m grateful to @SFPD‘s Homicide Detail and all the officers from @SFPDSouthern and elsewhere for their tireless work to bring Bob Lee’s killer to justice and for their arrest of a suspect this morning. (1/2) https://t.co/YXyH92Low9
